Let’s learn
How to
STOP a
WAR.

Most people don’t like wars. With the exceptions
of Hollywood & Rambo.

Theory # 1
![Page 5: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
MCDONALD’S theory of CONFLICT PREVENTION
![Page 6: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When a country reached the level of economic development, where it had a middle class big enough to support a network of McDonald’s,
IT BECAME A MCDONALD’S COUNTRY.
![Page 7: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Back in late
1990’s.
No two countries, that both
had McDonalds had ever
fought a war against each other since each got its
McDonalds*

Back in late
1990’s.
No two countries, that both
had McDonalds had ever
fought a war against each other since each got its
McDonalds*
*Border skirmishes and civil wars don’t count, because McD’s usually served both sides.

And people in McDonald’s countries did not want to fight wars anymore.

They prefer to wait in line for BURGERS.

The fine print here reads, that a country,
Has been woven into a the fabric of global
trade. Has rising living standards
Respects & is a part of a Global supply
chain.

Now that every other country has acquired a McDonald’s, this theory needs updating.
![Page 14: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Now that every other country has acquired a McDonald’s, this theory needs updating.
And the updated theory is

Theory # 2
![Page 16: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DELL theory of
CONFLICT
PREVENTION.

Let’s first know what is so great about ?
![Page 18: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Let’s first know what is so great about ?
They make lot of laptops.
Duh!And in the process, they run an
excellent
GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN.
![Page 19: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The total supply chain for a Dell laptop, including suppliers of suppliers involves about
across North America, Europe and primarily Asia, but with thirty key players.
400COMPANIES
![Page 20: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
No two countries that are both part of a major global supply chain, like Dell’s, will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain.
Dell theorysays

Because people are embedded in major global supply chains they don’t want to fight old time wars anymore.
They want to make just-in-time deliveries of goods and services - and enjoy the rising standards of living that come with that.

Let me explain!
![Page 24: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Take the example of my son & his girlfriend.
Let me explain!
![Page 25: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Hey! And I make peanut butter.
Hello! I make brown
bread.
![Page 26: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
And together we make Peanut-Butter Sandwiches.
![Page 27: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
+ =
We are financially
dependent.
SO WE NEVER FIGHT.
![Page 28: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Historically, a strong Japan & a strong China have had a hard time coexisting.
But today it is possible. Thanks to the supply chain. It’s a win-win for both.
![Page 29: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Similarly, a Silicon Shield protects Taiwan from China.
SILICON SHIELD

Similarly, a Silicon Shield protects Taiwan from China.
Silicon based products such as computers & networking systems forms the basis of digital economies of the world. Taiwan being the top producers of silicon products is WAR-PROOF.
SILICON SHIELD
![Page 31: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Iraq, Syria, South Lebanon, North Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran are not part of any major global supply chains.
All of them remain hot spots that could explode at any time and slow or reverse the flattening of the world.
![Page 32: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
If all countries, can be
tied into a strong
supply chain, We can STOP wars.
![Page 33: Lessons from the Flat World](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b6b6cf4a7959fa538b45e9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A PRACTICAL solution to keep countries going from war.
THESE THEORIES CAN STOP WAR.

So, make peace while
the world eats more
french-fries & buys more
laptops.
